Meh
I wouldn’t worry too much about the scholarship money .
One of my kids got a lacrosse scholarship to a snooty private school in New Jersey .
He loved playing High school lacrosse .
College lacrosse was very different
Up at 5 am for training , etc etc
He kept up with it and was spending over 50 hours a week at training practice workouts in the gym riding the bus to games etc etc
And freshmen never get to play and they get terrible hazing from the other players .
He injured his knee bad enough to require surgery, recovered and they finally let him play for two and a half minutes in one of the last games of the season .
He took the ball away from the opposing team twice in those two minutes .
Then the coach pulled him out of the game .
He didn’t go back to college after the first year .
HS sports are fun .
College sports are work.
Friend of mine daughter had a basketball scholarship to north ga and after the first year she dropped basketball and got a job as a waitress at Pizza Hut and made more money than she got in scholarship, in a lot less hours than she spent with the sports
If the planets line up and your kid gets a scholarship and enjoys spending 50 or 60 hours a week for it , that’s great, but they can usually earn more money with a decent part time job than the value of the sports scholarships
